The Sevastopol Art Museum named after Mikhail Pavlovich Kroshitsky houses a collection that is rightfully considered one of the most valuable and fascinating in Crimea. It includes works by Dutch, French, and Russian artists. The genre diversity and high artistic quality of the exhibits allows visitors to get acquainted with the stages of development of Russian and European art. Especially prominent and remarkable are the pre-revolutionary Russian paintings. They used to belong to famous public and private art collections in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
During the Great Patriotic
War, the museum director Mikhail Pavlovich Kroshitsky did everything possible
and acted heroically to preserve most of the exhibits in the collection.
Unfortunately, archive documentation and inventory books were lost, which made
it more difficult for researchers to find out each painting’s original
location, exhibition history, and fate.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
